Hat-trick of wins for Škoda at Business Car of the Year 2020

Škoda has come away with an impressive three wins at the Business Car of the Year 2020 awards. Both OCTAVIA and SUPERB were named the best in their categories, while the brand was recognised for its ongoing commitment to the business and fleet car sector.

The fourth-generation OCTAVIA, which was named best lower-medium car, has already made a great impression on the automotive press and customers. Editor Simon Harris said of the model: “Our judges liked the simplicity of the new OCTAVIA, as well as its ability as a comfortable high-mileage workhorse. But it also made an impression through its attractive styling, strong equipment levels, and availability of hatchback and estate versions from launch.”

The recently-updated SUPERB fought off competition to be named best upper-medium car. “The SUPERB range underwent a refresh for 2020, strengthening its credentials as a smooth and elegant large saloon or estate car,” explained Simon Harris. “We were impressed by its low running costs, strong desirability among fleet operators and drivers who have experienced its comfort and capability.”

Škoda’s performance in two of the largest sectors of the business and fleet car sector led to the brand being named most improved manufacturer. “Škoda’s submission in this category highlighted perfectly the raft of improvements the fleet team has made in the last year, enhancing its digital technology to support fleet customers, as well as boosting its level of service. It has also added particular model derivatives that deliver better value for fleet users,” added Simon Harris.
